The left side contains headlines about Justin Bieber, The Wanted, and an event, using questions and intrigue to engage readers. Color and formatting are used consistently to make the content stand out.
The interview discusses Mia McClune's rise to fame as a newcomer in the music industry. Mia talks about how music has always been a big part of her life and how surprised she was by her success, including having her single "Number One" reach the top of the charts. She also discusses enjoying performing live for her fans at venues like Wembley Arena and dealing with increased public attention from paparazzi. When asked for advice, Mia encourages others interested in singing to pursue their dreams and not have any regrets.
Uses and gratifications theory examines why people watch, enjoy, or discuss media. There are five main reasons: education, entertainment, escapism, social interaction, and personal identification. The document analyzes several music videos and album covers through these lenses. For education, videos may educate about social issues. For entertainment, videos feature dancing, narratives, or bright colors. Escapism videos depict parties or summer settings. Social interaction videos become topics of discussion. Personal identification videos feature relatable characters of different appearances that empower the target audience. The document concludes that an effective music video should both entertain and allow for personal identification by featuring a diversity of girls empowering each other.
This document discusses how the author attracted their target audience for a new musical theatre magazine. Their primary target audience is females aged 15-30. To attract this audience, they distributed questionnaires to people within this demographic to determine desired content. They included stories and topics that would appeal to this age group, such as articles on drama school and audition tips. Additionally, they featured a young female model on the cover and included artists they may aspire to emulate. Overall, the author tailored the magazine's content, visuals, and distribution methods to specifically target their intended young female readership interested in musical theatre.
Target Audience Demographics and PsychographicsVic Addis
This document discusses how the author attracted their target audience for a new musical theatre magazine. Their primary target audience is females aged 15-30. To attract this audience, they included content focused on drama school, auditions, and new musicals. They also used a young female model on the cover and featured female artists their audience could aspire to. Through distributing questionnaires only to those in their target audience, the author ensured the magazine appealed to their interests.
1) The document discusses potential media institutions that could distribute a niche musical theatre magazine, including Delfont Mackintosh Theatres, Ambassador Theatre Group, Nimax Theatres, and Official London Theatre.
2) Official London Theatre is identified as the best choice as it has various subsidiaries experienced in ticket sales and distributing that could help with the magazine.
3) The magazine could be distributed in theatre foyers, events like West End Live, and the magazine could organize its own musical theatre concert to promote itself.
4) Potential synergistic products and partnerships include a musical theatre concert, YouTube channel, Facebook ads, and a radio show to promote the content in the
The document describes the results of a qualitative survey the author conducted about a musical theatre magazine they created. 30 people responded to the questionnaire, which was distributed to people involved in musical theatre. The responses were overwhelmingly positive about the cover image, layout, color scheme, content and overall magazine. A few respondents suggested some minor adjustments, such as lighter colors or less cluttered pages. However, the author concluded that the survey results supported keeping most of the magazine as-is and provided a conclusive, positive assessment of how it will appeal to and be recommended to the target audience.
The document discusses locations that the author, Vicky Addis, plans to use to take photographs for a magazine on musical theatre.
For the front cover photo, Addis will take pictures either in the theatre or green room at Birmingham Ormiston Academy. Both locations relate to musical theatre. The theatre may have lighting restrictions, while the green room offers more options.
The contents page photo will be taken in the production classroom at the Academy. The mirrors and bulbs provide ideal lighting that links to musical theatre conventions.
Photos for an article on London's West End theatre district will be taken outside theatres and on the strip. Natural lighting conditions will vary depending on whether shots are day or night. The
The document discusses location scouting for photographs to include in a magazine focused on musical theatre. The photographer plans to take cover and interior shots at Birmingham Ormiston Academy's theatre and green room, as these locations relate to the genre of musical theatre. Additional photographs will be taken on the streets outside West End theatres in London. Power sources and lighting considerations are discussed for each location. Permission and scheduling needs to be coordinated to access the desired areas for photography.
The document discusses potential locations for photography related to a magazine on musical theatre. The first location is Birmingham Ormiston Academy's Theatre or Green Room, which would provide appropriate backdrops. Power sources are available at this location. In the theatre, some lighting control is possible depending on programming, while the Green Room allows more flexibility. The second location is Birmingham Ormiston Academy's production classroom, where mirrors and bulbs could provide key lighting. The final location is outdoors on London's West End strip and outside theatres, where no power sources would be available and lighting could not be controlled due to varying daylight and weather.
The document discusses potential locations for photography related to a magazine on musical theatre. It considers using the theatre or green room at Birmingham Ormiston Academy. Either location would provide an appropriate theatrical background. The theatre may have some lighting restrictions depending on scheduled events. The green room offers more lighting options but an appointment would be needed. Power sources are available and safety protocols would be followed. For the magazine cover, the production classroom at the academy offers mirrors with bulbs that could provide key lighting. Outdoor photographs for an article on London musicals would be taken on the theater strip without access to power sources, requiring fully charged devices. Lighting would depend on weather and time of day.
A LEVEL MEDIA: MAGAZINE PRODUCTION- INITIAL IDEAS Vic Addis
- The document provides initial ideas for photography, mise-en-scene, lighting, and content for a magazine focused on musical theatre.
- It considers three options for costumes for a performer on stage - a fur coat and suitcase, jeans and shirt, or dance kit. It also discusses setting shots in a theatre or on the West End strip.
- The content section outlines stories that could be included, such as reviews of shows like Kinky Boots and In the Heights, interviews with performers, and articles related to vocational training.
This document outlines initial ideas for a magazine focused on musical theatre. It discusses potential photography options including shots of a theatre and performers in rehearsal. It considers costume options and lighting. It provides example article ideas like a review of the musical "Kinky Boots" or a top 10 musicals list. It discusses targeting the magazine towards those aged 15-25 interested in a career in musical theatre with content on vocational training tips alongside general musical and industry news. The document sets out to create a sophisticated magazine with a stylish design to appeal to an older audience.

2. INTRODUCTION
0
I have decided to analyse music magazines in the genre of pop and musical
theatre as when I go forward to make my magazine, I want is genre to be
either pop or musical theatre. By analysing magazines in these genres I
can find the conventions for the layout, pictures and types of stories they
use in their magazines and interpret and adapt these into my magazine.
4. Q MAGAZINE
0
0
0
0
The genre of Q magazine is charts/R&B/ Rock. This can be identified
as the artists fit into the above genres. Tinie Tempah also fits this
genre.
The iconic sign of the masthead Q in the red box is used as it is
reoccurring in all editions of the magazines. It is Iconic as
there isn’t any symbolic meaning behind it. The colour red is a
symbolic sign as it can signify love or sometimes the indexical
sign can be danger or warning. The colour red also is seen as
sophisticated. The preferred reading of the colour red is
probably for the sophisticated look and for desire, the
oppositional however is danger.
Tinie Tempah is superimposed infront of the Q logo as it is a very popular magazine
and you can cover the logo as people can tell which magazine it is, this also makes
Tinie Tempah the main focus of the magazine. The close up of Tinie Tempah shows
him looking focused and firm, the preferred reading of this is to make him seem
dominant and powerful which the target audience would feel however the
oppositional reading of this could be that he is intimidating and would then
possibly put a reader off the magazine. Tinie Tempah was used as the main image
as he is iconic to the genre the magazine is.
The typography styles vary on the front cover from
the quote at the top and coverline on the left in a
Serif font making is stand out and look professional,
however the signature is in a script font to make it
look hand written. The preferred reading of this is to
make it seem personal as if he signed it for them.
The script/ san serif font listing the artists is used
also possibly for a signature vibe. The font is also
quite appealing to its target audience of teenagers
and young adults.
The colour scheme for the magazine is mainly pastel blue and
pink. The symbolic signs of these colours are innocence and
niavity however the colours also are appealing to a female
audience. Tinie Tempahs shirt is also the same colour to keep
the magazine look organised and the layout consistant.
0
Tinie Tempah, being superimposed makes him the main focus of the
magazine therefore the rest of the parts to the magazine tend to
revolve around him. The pug/puff is also behind Tinie Tempah but
because of the boxing and typography it still stands out. The names of
the artists are down the right hand side and do not overlap over or
under Tempah so that you can still see them however the signature is
on top of Tinie himself which makes it seem like he himself signed the
magazine. The second puff on the left fills most of the left as it is the
only thing on that side, being no.1 too also makes it stand out and
that is why it is also boxed.
6. MUSICALTHEATRE MAGAZINE
0
0
The genre of this magazine is musical theatre.
This can be seen through the font for the masthead as it is like the bulbs on
the show signs and dressing rooms. The image of the stage also gives this
away and the red colour is stereotypical for theatres.
0
The main image on the magazine is of a man on stage. His
body language is very casual making it seem like the stage
is his home. His clothing also is very casual. The preferred
reading of this is to make it seem like the stage is his
home and he is comfortable where he is however the
oppositional reading of this could be that he doesn’t care
for his appearance or career. The picture is an extreme
longshot so that you can see the background of the
theatre. Him in the foreground however makes him the
centre of attention. This image was chosen as its preferred
reading is that people interested in musical theatre would
want to be in this guys position and you can immediately
tell that the magazine has something to do with theatre.
The main colour of the magazine is red. The symbolic sign of red is love and
passion. The red in this case, I think has a preferred reading of passion
however to some people who find performing daunting, may see the red as
danger and threatening which is also an indexical sign of red.
0
The coverlines on the magazine are very specific to musical
theatre. The Tony awards are awards given in New York to
plays and musicals so an article on this would appeal to an
audience with an interest in musical theatre. Another
article in the magazine is Acting as a Business which is
appealing to people who wish to get a career in
performing and also there is an article on hormones and
how they effect your voice which would also appeal to
people training in singing and want a career in Musical
theatre which is the primary target audience of this
magazine. The magazine also has articles on new musicals
such as Forbidden Broadway and musical theatre stars
which the target audience would be interested in.
0
The layout of the Musical Theatre Magazine is quite alike to the Q
Magazine as the cover lines are on the right hand side of the front cover to
not detract from the picture. However having looked in more detail at the
musical theatre magazine they always put the coverlines on the right hand
side whereas for Q magazine this is a one of. Like all magazines the
masthead is at the top on both magazines. The musical theatre magazine
is more dull and unprofessional. From searching online, I couldn’t find
anymore musical theatre magazines so they do not have to be as
competitive as Q who have more competition. Musical Theatre also do not
superimpose anything on their name is not very well known however Q is
a well known magazine so can afford to superimpose.
8. TOTP CONTENTS
0
0
The headline of the top of the pops magazine is bright pink and the font is a san serif font. Both
of these have been chosen as the magazines target audience is teenage girls.The colour pink is
stereotypically feminine and pinks symbolic for beauty and friendships- topics that the
magazine are likely to cover.The san serif font is appealing to the audience as it is more informal
and that is why most of the magazine is in this font. The contents page overall has more pictures
than you usually see on contents pages and more sections.The sections also are appealing to
teenage girls as they are quite juvenile such as we love boys, we love shopping (fashion being a
subgenre), all about you and celebs and gossip. Certain articles have been highlighted. I
presume this is to draw the audiences attention to them as they are the more interesting
articles- this is a iconic sign. The iconic circled secondary image of one direction stands out as it
is circled and one direction obviously, are appealing to the teenage girl audience.The secondary
image of the clothing gives you a visual representation of what will be in the magazine.
One thing I like that this magazine does, is use a picture of the front cover and showing you where the articles are. I do however feel this is
more appealing to a younger audience as they prefer visual representations. I also like that the sections have a re-occurring “we love” although
the we love is very juvenile and childish, I shall consider having re-occurring names for sections for my magazine as it gives it more structure
and makes it stand out to other pages.
0
The 3D giveaway also appeals to their teenage audience as they do not have an income to spend as having free 3D things within the
magazine ,appeals to them.This is also apparent in the Wins and Offers section as they do not have an income.The house style for this
magazine is yellow and pink, the symbolic signs from these colours are friendship, passion, beauty and in yellow, joy, friendliness and
warmth.The indexical sign and oppositional reading of the colour yellow is caution.

We Love Pop have the same target audience to Top of the Pops
however I think it looks more grown up. The We Love Pop
magazine has an editors letter which makes this contents page
look like it has more writing on and therefore appeal to older
teenagers. However,We Love Pop has more secondary images
so there is an even balance. Being a Christmas edition of We
Love Pop they have used the colour green that we associate
with Christmas and a tinsel piece of clip art. In the main
image, Olly Murs is wearing a jumper to also show the season.
To link to the name of the magazine, ‘ We Love Pop’ their
contents page is called ‘We Love This’… although the choice of
language is very juvenile, I like the link to the name of the
magazine and name of the contents page.We Love Pop does
not have sections for the magazine, having the sections helps
structure the contents page and I find it easier to read the
contents page with the sections. On the bottom of this
magazine is a footer of a sneak peak to all the boyband posters
that you can get in the magazine.When I was younger, I used
to stick up all the posters from magazines therefore this is a
good touch to a contents page to appeal to a young female
audience.
The main font on the magazine is San Serif but bold which
makes it stand out and still appeal to a young audience.The
signature of the editors letter is script to make it seem signed.
All the sneak peak quotes to the articles re in a san serif italic
blue, being blue and italic they are different to the sections
and articles and therefore stand out more.The magazine also
have blocked out O’s and 0’s and used this as a house style.
The secondary images on the contents page also give you an insight
to the content of the magazine.The images include One Direction,
The Wanted and Union J. Boybands primarily appeal to the young
teenage girls therefore that is why these were picked.The
oppositional reading of the boybands is that teenagers become too
distracted by boybands and fantasizing about perfect boys. You can
separate the images by their size.
12. MTM CONTENTS
0
0
The main image on the MTM contents page is a picture from
the strip of Broadway with all the musical posters. Some of
the musical posters are mainstream but a few are very
obscure- this shows me that the magazine is targeted at
people who have a big interest in musical theatre and more
likely want a career in it or are very passionate/ have a big
interest in musical theatre, not just people who have seen a
few musicals.The pictures coloured filters give it more life
and stop it looking plain. I think the filters are a iconic sign
as they are just a variety of colours however the rainbow
could portray happiness and joy. MTM haven’t used any
secondary images as they would block and detract from the
main image.
MTMs contents page overall is
very plain however only having
released 3 volumes of their
magazine they are still
experimenting with their layout.
The left hand side of the contents
page doesn’t have anything, they
could have used a secondary
image here or an editors letter.
0
The headline for the contents
page is the copied masthead.
This is a common convention
for magazines, they tend to
copy the masthead or use the
same typography that they
used on the front cover.
Therefore the the musical
theatre magazine conforms a
magazine convention.The
preferred reading of this is
that the magazine is very
themed however the
oppositional could be that
they lazily just copied it. Like I
mentioned before the
masthead is an iconic sign
however its background of
the curtains, and the light
bulb font are associated with
the theatre.
0
The sections in MTM are related to musicals, tips and stars. For example The Tonys, noticing
changes in your vocal range and Kinky Boots’ star Sam Zeller.These appeal to people with a
passion for musical theatre or people who wish for a career in Musical Theatre.
14. TOTP DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD
0
The TOTP Double Page Spread conforms the DPS
conventions.This is noticeable as the Main Image
takes up half the article, and the typography is in
columns.The article also uses a block quote that has
something to do with the article and is inspiring.
0
0
The colour scheme on the magazine is pinks and purples,
appealing to the female audience. The article is also about
dating and the colour pink has a connotation of love and
that is also why it is used.To link to the theme of love, they
have used hearts on the background to the front cover.The
article was also an interview, this can be seen through the
pink typography at the start of each section.The headline
of the article, which is also a quote “NO MATTER WHAT
ANYONE SAYS, IM NOT DATING ANYONE’ shows the
audience about the gossip and rumors that leak in the
industry, this choice of language however, could have an
oppositional reading and could be seen as quite rude and
abrupt. However the preferred reading of this is to show
Taylor Swift as a strong and independent female, and the
preferred reading is to empower the audience to also feel
this way.
The secondary images used on the double page spread link to
the story as the one is of pop star Ed Sheeran she was rumored to
be dating.The preferred reading of this is that she is focusing on
her career as although she dueted with Ed, doesn’t mean she's
dating him. She instead is focused on her music career, however
the oppositional reading of this is that Ed is portrayed as a really
nice guy and it is not understandable that she would turn him
down or not want to be in a relationship with a nice guy, it makes
Taylor out to be looking for bad boys however this is more of an
indexical reading.

The article on the left hand side of the double page spread is about musical theatre star Sam Zeller titled ,” Sam Zeller- on the road
again” Sam Zeller is popular for his part as Valjean in popular musical, Les Miserables and many others. Back on the road again shows
he is back as he takes part in musical, Kinky Boots ( seen in the secondary image).The article on the left is about Chris March and her
appearance in musical, Spamalot- being a very obscure and strange musical links to the title of this article being ‘ Larger than Life’ not
only, describing Chris March’s personality and size but also describing Spamalot.You can easily identify it is about Spamalot due to the
ridiculously eccentric costume.This is the same for the Sam Zeller article,Valjeans costume is always the same and the target audience
( very passionate about musical theatre) should be able to identify that it is Valjeans costume.
Chris March’s facial expression on the image on the right hand side is used to show her character however if you were not aware of her
characteristics, you would see the image with an oppositional reading that she is shouting and you would see the image and the
costume she is earing as outrageous and would possibly therefore not read the article. Unless you had a big interest in musical theatre
you would possibly not know the two stars in this article, also as this is American they are Broadway stars, not west end stars so an
audience in England may also not know them and not be interested in the article.The MTM magazine therefore is for an American
audience with a large interest and want for a career in musical theatre rather than people with the same psychographics but in
England.
The background colour for both articles is black, on the Sam Zeller side the colours are very dull however on the Chris March Side, her
costume is very bright to reflect her character and personality.The fonts used on the Sam Zeller side are San Serif and very basic this is to
show the magazine as not too formal ( serif ) but not informal (script), this font style is the same on the Chris March side for everything but
the headline.The Headline on the Chris March side is quite Art Dec.The preferred reading of this is to reflect the style and the time period
the musical was set.The oppositional reading of this could be that the magazine is old fashioned/ out of date.
